https://www.newsweek.com/us-citizen-detained-canada-criminal-2060280 https://www.newsweek.com/us-citizen-detained-canada-criminal... is one just the other day but there have been several. But again, there have been a bunch of 'US Immigration authorities overreach' stories. The standard for breaking de-repetition can't be 'first I hear of it'. You can always mail the mods to make the case for a particular story if you think it's worth discussing on the front page.

I've been detained for a few hours at the border due to a paperwork fuckup. It happens. This is... substantially worse than that.
